To save with variable in save() function

Question

Hi, 
 
 I want to save one variable which i created in with and values of that variable are getting update on basis of drop down. 
 I am using that variable(dataset) further to display something. But when i am trying to save any value in that dataset. 
 
 I am getting error 
 Expression evaluation error in rule 'rule_Test' (called by rules 'rule_test1' > 'rule_test2') at function a!applyComponents [line 176]: An error occurred while executing a save: Expression evaluation error: The save target must be a load() variable, process variable, or node input (or a rule input passed one of those three), but instead was: 
 
 What i sthe workaround to save the values of with variable instead to use load one as error says.

I'm a little unclear still what you're trying to accomplish, but with() variables are NOT meant to be saved into directly - they are meant only to automatically evaluate based on changes (if applicable) in the data in their original definitions. Hence why you're getting the error message which is expected.

I'm not clear what exactly you're trying to do - can you start out by explaining your use case at a more high level? 
 
It looks like you're trying to directly edit a data set, and in that case the usual method is to query the original data in-process, and pass it into your SAIL form via a rule input (ri!) variable. Your editable grid is then free to save changed values into the ri! variable, which in this case acts similar to a load() variable. You would then save any changes back to the database in your process model after the form is submitted.
